(735 ILCS 5/6-138) (from Ch. 110, par. 6-138)
Sec. 6-138.
Extent of recovery.
On the trial of such issue, the plaintiff
is required
to establish and the defendant may deny, the time when such
defendant entered into the possession of the premises, the time during
which he or she enjoyed the mesne profits thereof, and the value of such
profits; and the record of the recovery in the action of ejectment shall
not be evidence of such time. On such trial, the defendant shall have
the same right to set off any improvements made on the premises, to the
amount of the plaintiff's claim, as is now or shall hereafter be judicially allowed;
and in estimating the plaintiff's damages, the value of the use
by the defendant of any improvements made by him or her shall not be allowed to
the plaintiff.
